| ===Features===
| |
| The zone generator customizable Whois feature of the CoCCA OpenReg allows the public to access all pertinent information. The open registry also offers the users a domain transfer feature, which allows full domain name transfer controlled by the registrant. Flexible customization applied to policies of registry and renewals are also some of the features of CoCCA OpenReg. It also enables automatic invoicing for bulk renewals as well as multiple annual renewals. The registration restriction feature is a key option, which controls use of offensive names and generic names such as names of places and famous personality names.<ref>[http://www.sanog.org/resources/sanog6/aslam-cocca-preso.pdf SANOG.org]</ref>
